Wow! Joe did a fantastic job. I love the premise and can’t wait for the book to come out.
ReplyDeleteHis book centers on the question I too have often wondered: why is Harry such a big deal yet today. Other magicians of his time are not close. Nor are most other celebrities of his time or since. I have my theories, but will look forward to his book. --Dale
ReplyDeleteCool I'm really looking forward to this book. Joe seems like he really gets it and his enthusiasm about Houdini seems genuine.
